Isn't it meant to have all the benefits of oversized press fit bbs, with the benefits of threaded bbs? It's interesting, that's for sure, but whether it'll become a widely adopted standard isn't clear. You can also get t47 bbs for a lot less than £100.

Not really as it’s the same width as a PF30 shell but then you have to screw cups in to it anyway...which you could do with a BSA shell.
It’s basically an idea for small batch frame builders who want a meaty BB shell but don’t want the hassle of making good a PF30 interface after fixing it in place. There’s not much in it for their customers over a normal BSA shell. Maybe more space for internal routing and stuffs.

the best of both worlds is what I have read online so far... when you say a lot less, it's still way more than the £20 a pop shimano BB I am used to though...
My main concern is that, as you have pointed out, nobody knows if it'd ever become the norm and I was speaking to Jim from BC today, he hasn't even heard of it, so I am worried on the maintenance front more than anything if I am honest...
@Dammit, what bikes are they? Just out of interest.

One of the benefits of threaded BBs is that they're cheap and ubiquitous. T47 not so much...

Anyone has good or bad thing to say about T47 oversize threaded bottom bracket? I know nothing about it other than it's very expensive (£100 plus a pop) and it doesn't seem like many people have even heard of it. It looks to be one of those high end market parts...
Why the question, you ask? This is what is going to be needed for my bespoked bike apparently.
